Westport Wa.  September 2016

I was reading a blog post recently and one third of the way through the post I encountered the following:

“One way to begin discovering what kind of unconscious ideals we’ve been constructing in our own lives is to ask ourselves introspective questions like the following:

1) What sort of workplace would my company be if every employee was just like myself?; 2) What sort of home life would there be if every wife/husband/child was just like myself?; 3) What sort of neighborhood would this be if every neighbor were just like myself?;
4) What sort of self-worth would individuals have if every person had my self-esteem?; or, 5) What sort of church or synagogue would my congregation be if every member were just like myself?

Questions like these aren’t meant to discourage us but instead to help us realize just how powerful unconscious ideals have been in shaping what we’ve become, both positively and negatively.”

I hope someday to be able to answer all these with an adamant yes. For now these sentences may best be an easy way to check my progress.

Spring arrived today signaling a change, we are cycling again. 

To experience love is to experience giving from within. That experience is something that we recognize and can easily distinguish it from taking, and from wanting. Given freely, love is a testimony to the fact we’re not  hollow or empty inside, but contain a spark of creative spirit.

Henry Reed

I feel the need to write something. I would like it to be something that you would read and then find yourself in complete understanding, peace and bliss. That would be enough of a contribution for me to give the world.

Some people say if you are still alive you have not yet completed what your soul wants you to complete in this life. I am still alive and wondering just what that could be. It is mind boggling to realize we are all here with something to learn and something to do. It’s not like we are all here to begin revolutions or save the world. No, its much simpler and it has something to do with giving, with being of service.

I initially saw my work with hypnosis in lofty terms. I would help people discover their purpose and complete that purpose. I would help them heal and find meaning and purpose. After so many years my aspirations have lessened but not my ideal. I cannot accelerate the growth of a tomato or a person. Everyone has their own timeline and free will, this means that they write the rules of their reality.

So, I love accept and allow

Sometimes the tools we think we are going to use to help others are as much that opportunity as they are the opportunity to change self. In the personal transformation world you hear it is the journey that is most important, not the destination. Perhaps the journey and the destination are important as you are both moving within the illusion of time and space and already one with everything.

The seers say the truth is within each of us, to be found in the little things of kindness, compassion, love, and service.

Blessings,
